I recently started creating/maintaining packages for the AUR. One request I've run up against is allowing users to relink /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2, but still have package building work. Apparently the current policy is to use "python setup.py" for Python 3 packages, but that breaks Python 3 package building for users who relink. Using "python3 setup.py" fixes that problem. Could that policy change? I searched around for a conversation, but couldn't find anything. Also, the policy itself is undocumented in the wiki and /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD-python.proto. -Aaron DeVore
